Socktoberfest 07!


It truly IS Fall! And with the lovely colors of Autumn comes Socktoberfest!

This will be my second Socktoberfest year. I enjoyed it last year when I was just beginning the down the road of hand-knitted sock goodness. And during the 'fest last year, I completed, oh, let's see. ... *blink* Wait, that can't be right.

One. Pair.

That's it? I thought surely I'd knitted more than that! Oh well. I've got a better start this year. ;)

The sock in the photo is the Embossed Leaves socks from Interweave Press's Favorite Socks. They're gorgeous! I'm using Claudia's Handpainted in Pink Posey. Mmmm, I've found another favorite sock yarn. Claudia's is a yummy yarn, very similar to Koigu.

I started this sock Saturday night and finished it yesterday afternoon. Cast on for its mate last night. This pattern moves fast! (I like fast.)

There's a Knit-Out this weekend in Brookdale and I want to have these finished for that.

Other socks I'd like to finish this month:

Hubby's socks (one sock down, the other one is well into the leg.)
Mother-in-law's socks (I HATE the yarn I'm using and will probably buy new yarn for them.)
A pair each for my sons. (I think it's high time I made them some.)

That should be a good start! ;)
